Inside the Revolution: A journey into the heart of Venezuela by Pablo Navarrette (2009 -1h05)
Presented by Pamoja Film Initiative
Filmed in Caracas in November 2008, on the eve of the 10th anniversary of Chavez’s controversial presidency, this feature-length documentary takes a journey into the heart of Venezuela’s revolution to listen to the voices of the people driving the process forward. The film traces the recent history of Venezuela, before and after the election of Hugo Chavez to the presidency, using archive material and interviews with Venezuelans living in the barrios of Caracas who are involved in community and social movements.
Review
“A rare film about Venezuela, a country in extraordinary transition. Watch this film because it is honest and fair and respectful of those who want to be told the truth about an epic attempt, flaws and all, to claim back the humanity of ordinary people.”
– John Pilger (Journalist, author and documentary filmmaker).

In 2009, Goethe Institut-Kenya challenged Just A Band, one of our their long term partners in the Nairobi scene, and commissioned them with a video art exhibition: TRNSMSSN which turned out to be a very popular show.
Now, with many videos and the first Kenyan viral video phenomenon Makmende on their back, Just A Band is ready for a follow up exhibition with: KUDISHNYAO! The video-art installation uses 6 parallel audiovisual streams to tell stories of fate, love, deceit and escape; with a cast of dancers, lovers, terrorists, victims and survivors.
On the occasion of the opening, Just A Band will perform one of its rather rare concerts! It is also a farewell party, since Bill, Jim & Daniel depart for the US the next day, where they will also exhibit KUDISHNYAO!

This new series of works in Paper and Canvas make use of the circle as symbolism of the Self.
Circles have been used throughout history by many cultures, expressing notions of wholeness and completion. Miriam’s circles are all drawn by hand thus representing the imperfect (but thoroughly amazing) nature of life…
Exhibition runs through 19th April
All welcome.
